Social Program

City Hall of Funchal

The first settlers arrived in Madeira between 1420 and 1425. Under the leadershipof the 1st captain of Funchal, Joao Goncalves Zarco, the first inhabitants soon hadto organize themselves and set up a municipal centre, which later on, around 1453,would be elevated to Village, by King D. Afonso V charter.

The old municipal installation of the 15th century, in time, was no longer suitablefor the needs of a city such as Funchal. Thus, the seat of city government movedfrom one building to another and in the first half of the 19th century, it came tobe installed in the palace where it still operates today.

The Carvalhal Esmeraldo Palace was built byFrancisco Antonio da Camara Leme in 1758, whorecuperated previous constructions. It subse-quently passed through the hands of various own-ers and tenants, and in the beginning of the 19thcentury, the owner was D. Joana Teresa, daugh-ter of Joana de Carvalhal and her husband, thesergeant-at-arms of Funchal, Francisco Roque de

Albuquerque Figueiroa. A short time later, Funchal City Council was installed inthe building, which was acquired in 1883.

In 1940, under the mayoralty of Dr. Fernao de Ornelas, the building and itssurroundings were extensively remodeled, resulting in the building as we know ittoday, which faces a large square dominated by a fountain, the overall project beingthe responsibility of the architects Raul Lino and Carlos Ramos.

Monte Palace Tropical Garden

On 12 November 1988 the Jose BerardoFoundation was set up and Jose Berardodonated the Monte Palace to this Insti-tution. Thus the conditions were createdto summon up the energy and the meansneeded to ensure the full recuperation ofthe buildings and garden, which had lainabandoned since 1945.

Jose Berardo and his wife Carolinadedicated themselves personally to thisgreat effort. They were helped in the recuperation work on both a professional

and friendly level by Jose Manuel Carvalho in the renovation of the buildings, byMario Rodriques in the redecoration of the interiors and by Jose Eleuterio AscencaoSoares in the reorganization of the gardens.

Through the Foundation, Jose Berardo chose to adorn the Tropical Garden withsquare stone masonry, selected works of art, Koi fish and exotic birds. For thosewho wish to wander along its walkways and within its caves and to enjoy thesefeatures, the idea of the Tropical Garden, in line with the botanical gardens whichwere so in vogue in the 19th century, allows them to dream or at least be free todream about other worlds.

If aesthetic concerns were predominant, concerns for the protection of the en-vironment and species also made their mark. The new garden is a nursery whichgracefully supplies visitors with plants and allows for the scientific study of na-ture, above all for children and young adults. The flora species native to Madeira,plants originating from Asia, azaleas from Belgium, heathers from Scotland andespecially, a unique collection of cycads from South Africa have all been broughttogether in the creation of the new garden.

It was the culmination of all this work that Jose Berardo presented to thepublic on 5th of October 1991, with a reception for the people and the Presidentof Madeira and the Bishop of Funchal.

The Berardo Foundation will ensure that this garden does not return to thestate of abandonment in which Jose Berardo found it.

Sao Tiago Fortress

As the Portuguese almost completely dominated the North At-lantic routes at those times, the defence of the island did notseem of special importance. Because of this negligence, in 1566Funchal suffered a terrible pirate attack, where many peoplewere slaughtered.

In spite of the constant danger of another attack, only in1614 the Santiago Fort was finally built to protect Funchal fromthe corsairs. In 1767 it was enlarged and exclusively servedmilitary purposes until 1992, year in which Madeira’s RegionalGovernment decided to use it for cultural activities.

Today this fortress accommodates a museum, a permanent as well as temporaryexpositions and an excellent restaurant with a terrace in a prime location. Underthe cover of the Contemporary Art Museum, varied cultural activities take placethroughout the year.
